I'm doing really well just tired.

I just notice it was spelled wrong what I meant to say was rest is key to recovery. So get your rest and sip sip sip

Hello fellow Michiganders! I was just sleeved 5-2-11 at U of M by Dr Finks. I am in the Fowlerville area, not too far from some of you!

Hi Mommy23....I just got my sleeve on July 21st, 2015 and signed up for this app and looking for support in the area. I also live in fowlerville and would love to talk about how I am going to progress from here (3days out).

I've seen a few people comment on Dr. Gluck in Muskegon and I'm curious what his pre-op program looks like. I have my consult next month and waiting is killing me, so I'm trying to get any info I can in the interim!

Re Dr Gluck, I just finished my pre op requirements for insurance. After info meeting and consult with Dr Gluck, I attended a nut info meeting, a support group meeting, a psych evaluation, 6 months of dr supervised weight loss program with the PA, EGD, and a stress test.

Thanks @@newme101415, how did those go for you? I'm doing the NUT class, consult and seminar all in one day and psych eval in my hometown (out-of-town patient), and I'm hoping to minimize my trips to Muskegon. How was the support group meeting? Did you only have to do one?

All went well for me. Yes, I only went to one support meeting, but I plan to regularly attend meetings after my procedure on 14 October.

The support meeting was interesting, in that the co-leaders did a nice job of trying to include everyone in the conversation, despite the efforts of two people that attempted to monopolize the entire session with their "fascinating" stories.

Best wishes to you. Thus far, I have been very impressed with everyone that I have met in Dr Gluck's office. All have been very knowledgeable and professional.

I am beside myself with excitement and anticipation. My VSG is scheduled for 9/1 with Dr Schram at Blodgett Hospital. I had my "Final Decision" appointment today, and he had an opening for the 1st so I took it! Met with the NUT and got on the pre op diet on the spot. Pre op appointment is Monday. I am so excited for the next step on the journey!

I wish I was closer so I could go to more than required, but it's just not an option being so far away. Thanks for the well-wishes, maybe I'll see you around!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
